I'm hacking away and bedding down for winter; as a result all sorts of things are being disturbed and observed if not actually photographed. A dragonfly that swept in and about periodically and were briefly visited by a Painted Lady, the only one I've seen this year. Five years ago we enjoyed swarms of them during a warm spell mid-summer. A crane fly basked in the strong autumn sun which we enjoyed for most of the day and allowed me to get a couple of photographs.
There are something like 300 species of Crane-Fly found in Britain. I'm not planning to id this one.
